In December 2002 the Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland conducted a consultation with a wide range of service providers that aimed to identify key areas of development for our work. One of the key themes that came out of the consultation was the need for us to find better ways of communicating with service users from black or minority ethnic (BME) communities. The aim of this report is to contribute to awareness and debate of issues affecting BME service users, leading to more culturally appropriate services for individuals. There are also recommendations for actions for the Commission itself and for the range of providers, inspectorates and other agencies involved in ensuring the quality of mental health and learning disability services.
